A Bm E D

Verse 1-
A
We both know that I shouldn't be here
This is wrong
                 Bm
And baby it's killing me
          E
It's killing you
     D
But both of us trying to be strong

A
I've got somewhere else to be
Promises to keep
Bm
Someone else who loves me
      E               D
And trusted me fast asleep

Pre-chorus-
E
I've made up my mind
There is no turning back
Bm
She's been good to me
     D             E
And she deserves better than that

Chorus/coro-
A
It's the hardest thing
                E
I'll ever have to do
        Bm
To look you in the eye
     D
And tell you i don't love you
            A
It's the hardest thing
           E
I'll ever have to lie
    Bm
To show no emotion
     D
When you start to cry
A
I can't let you see
         E
What you mean to me
         Bm
When my hands are tied
         D
And my heart's not free
We're not meant to be
         A
It's the hardest thing
                E
I'll ever have to do
   Bm
To turn around and walk away
   D
Pretending i don't love you

Verse 2-
A
I know we'll meet again
Fate has a place and time
Bm
So you can get on with your life
    D                   E
I've got to be cruel to be kind
A
Like Doctor Zhivago
All my love I'll be sending
    Bm
And you'll never know
    D
'Cause there can be no happy ending
